As we in America celebrate the 4th of July and all the freedoms it provides, we mustn’t forget where TRUE FREEDOM is found – only in Christ Jesus.
In this celebratory episode, we discuss how political freedoms can be taken away but the freedom found in Jesus Christ can be experienced no matter where you are at and despite any circumstance or environment you find yourself in (even a prison cell).
So this 4th of July, let’s celebrate all our freedoms, especially the freedom and victory we have in Jesus.
